Champions League Quarterfinal Referees: April 2

Posted on by 2 comments

For the record, Mark Clattenburg is on fire this year.

Just when I said I suspected that there would be no non-World Cup referees in the Champions League quarterfinals, he comes up big for Real Madrid v. Dortmund.

It’s a shame, really. Howard Webb’s struggles are well-known, and Clatts is having the year of his life. If the last 6-9 months were all that mattered, Mark would be in Brazil and not Howard. But I suppose a big Champions League match – his second in the past two months – is some consolation prize.

Milorad Mazic of Serbia is going to the World Cup, and he’ll take PSG v. Chelsea.

    Totally agree. Clattenburg is one of the most consistent officials in England and in my opinion deserves to go to Brazil over Webb.

      I’d venture to say he’s the MOST consistent. Howard did well last year internationally, but he’s really suffered from poor form this year. It really sucks for Mark.
